Still got the deadly snottyitus ! Decided to cook Thai food tonight to awaken my taste buds. We purchased a recipe book from a restaurant we dined in in Stratford Upon Avon, so I'm giving it a try. Salmon parcels, pork bites and chicken satay for mains. All prepped and the meat is marinading,
The salmon parcels are sublime. Salmon in a baby gem lettuce leaf, layered with slice of ginger, slice of lime, diced red onion, lemon grass, and a drizzle of the sauce (basically siracha, tamarind, soy), with a sprinkle of fried onion on top. You pick up the leaf, wrap it, then pop in the cake hole. The flavours just flow through as you bite into it.
One alteration to the recipe was not to add all the sugar, opting for a small squirt of honey instead. No wonder some recipe's taste so amazing with serious amounts of sugar in.

50km completed here. Sunny and short sleeved jersey type warm, but there's a bit of a breeze coming in off the North Sea and that's still chilly.
As much as I'd like to be sitting outside, there's an outdoor childrens' party somewhere very nearby and someone else seems to have been playing something bass heavy most of the afternoon which I'm picking up as background annoyance.
Tempting to have half an hour flat out on the sofa before cooking tea,
Raining/drizzling nearly all day. Switched a multi release cleat for a normal one on one shoe as attempted spinning yesterday evening for some reason had multiple unclippings.
Then finally started on trying to tidy the loft. Scrubbed the original plan to move stuff out of it probably temporarily in favour of clearing it of empty boxes that were filling a big area. Ended up with a car full of flattened boxes and polystyrene with only the drivers seat clear.
After disposing of all then a failed visit to Tesco for bananas, but more cheap free from.

Good for you. Enjoy (and turn the phone off)...
Without knocking Royal Mail left a parcel in our open porchway,I saw the driver leaving,so I asked him to hand it to me,he left I got talking to Mrs P it was a box of flowers.Our address and postcode but not our name,so Mrs P has been to all the numbers with a three ,we still have the flowers and some poor women does not,but what annoyed me was RM not knocking,in my time that would have been a serious offence.

Evening stroll completed
Time to relax and see what's on the gogglebox

It's a long way to go to look at a tomato.
Unplanned evening shopping. The loaf for toasting was down to the crusts, one too thin, one way too thick. Hence a Simply Food visit for a gift card free freefrom oaty loaf.
En route was Tesco again.
I had a gaint bag of plastic bags for recycling and their open topped recycling crate was the best place for them. Also needed to complain, a pack of custard creams had not had clubcard discount on them and in fact had been overcharged on the full price by 10p. Was refunded infull then charged for them at the clubcard price.
Returned via Waitrose with seemingly the very last Tiptree Strawberry Converse purchased from their given the bareness of the shelves and the clearance sign.

Productive day. Washing machine for Tyt senior ordered and paid for.
Had to call the bank to do an international bank transfer. Never had to do that before. Bit of a palaver but got there in the end. Site says that it will be delivered on Wednesday but on the next page it says Thursday. Not very confident of either.

A very kind and helpful neighbour helped me to remove the old broken washing machine. Once moved I found a load of ball bearings where it had been standing. Cleaned up the site which was covered in cobwebs and dust where the old machine had stood for 20+ years.
Pork and mushroom goulash a la Tom Kerridge for lunch - very tasty.
Dad made some bread this afternoon. Smells fantastic. He makes brilliant bread - has done it for most of his life. Hence he can still do it now even though he is nearly blind.
Now getting the old fellow ready for bed. This will probably take some time.
